    This is an example of why Musk is a clown

    All his deploys are buggy and poorly tested, because he doesn't have the right people/processes

    “Elon Musk is a clown”

    If Musk is a clown, what are the people in this thread who regularly voice various modalities of hatred and yet are hanging on his every move?

    He’s many things, but “clown” seems to be about as far from a descriptor as one could get.

    Musk monitor alert!

    If you can't do a basic deploy without blocking a large part of your own user base you are a clown - regardless of "modalities of hatred"

    I'd say that a fully grown adult that trolls on the scale that Elon does is a clown.

    With all that is going on with twitter post Musk, how safe should we feel about Tesla's software?

    To be clear, if the reports are true and Twitter had the issues before, this is a pre-existing issue.

    I think the still remaining Musk worship is kind of funny but I guess if Henry Ford was around during the internet age, he'd be worshiped too.

    They both eventually got around to anti-Semitism. It must be something about building cars.

    Couple of thoughts here.

    1. Not paying rent is likely a negotiation technique to break the leases and move to either SpaceX or Tesla HQ. Given how small Twitter's staff is, there's no reason for them to have a separate HQ from Musk's other companies. This also allows Musk to leverage the staff for the other companies.

    2. Not paying severance is, likely, not a real thing.. Well, real in that it is likely to happen. It's more of a thing where the CEO goes "How much would it cost really?" The cost of litigation and fines is easily far more than what Twitter would pay in honoring the severance packages.

    1)I am really going to enjoy the Tesla shareholder lawsuits
    2)Is Space X a viable company if not for US Gov defense and commercial contracts? I hope we find out. We better find out.

    Yeah, if even one of these are true, not good. This is a public company? I'm surprised the CSO stayed longer than a month.

    Agreed. It shows how much he has likely destroyed the revenue side of Twitter

    There has been some talk that a refi is already under discussion which gives an idea of how badly things have gone just weeks into it.

    The idea is that Musk would buy out some of the expensive Twitter debt at a discount with cash or new debt leveraged against Tesla stock. This is a good deal for Musk as it reduces unsustainable interest costs on twitter balance sheet, but potentially just throws billions of good money after bad

    There are plenty of examples from business of people doing very clever things, then doing very dumb things out of hubris and arrogance. Zuckerburg and Meta come to mind.

    Usually it happens due to poor corporate governance.

    Sure, but its debatable as to whether or not Twitter had much of a future as a preachy government utility.

    Musk Monitors will dismiss the decline in Tesla's stock as a general correction unrelated to Musk, but there is emerging evidence that is not true. YouGov has found significant damage to the Tesla Brand. i.e liberals (who are the main market) now have a net negative perception.

    Why Teslas's board don't act on this is remarkable, The politicisation of the consumer facing brand has no value to the company and steep downsides

    New York Times, LA Times, Washington Post, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News…all news outlets are used for corporate synergy and to disseminate both public and private propaganda. Bezos has Washington Post, in classic Musk fashion he buys the biggest next gen media outlet: Twitter.

    Even accepted this framework - Bezos didn't precede to wreck WAPOs business model.

    That is what is nonsense here. There was no need to wildly overpay for Twitter in a toxic takeover, then alienate all the advertisers. He could have come in calmly, restructured, and pivoted the business model while breaking even. That is the whole advantage of going private!

    But he can't be a clown because we're all watching and laughing at his ridiculous antics.

    Or so I've been told.
